President Trump went scorched earth on Dianne Feinstein late Thursday night, saying she ‘possibly illegally’ unilaterally released the Fusion GPS transcript.

President Trump called the Democrat Senator “Sneaky Dianne Feinstein” Wednesday morning on Twitter, “The fact that Sneaky Dianne Feinstein, who has on numerous occasions stated that collusion between Trump/Russia has not been found, would release testimony in such an underhanded and possibly illegal way, totally without authorization, is a disgrace.
